About this tour
A private full-day tour of Ubud that strings together the region's most-visited sites: two temples, the monkey forest, rice terraces, a jungle swing, a waterfall, and a coffee tasting. You'll travel by private car with a guide who picks you up from your accommodation. The pace is brisk—expect to move between locations every 90 minutes or so. Entry fees to attractions aren't included, which catches many travellers out, so budget accordingly.
Highlights
- Ride a rope swing suspended above the jungle canopy
- Walk among macaques in the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary
- Trek through stacked rice paddies at Tegalalang
- Bathe in spring water at the thousand-year-old Tirta Empul temple
- Swim at Tegenungan Waterfall during dry season
- Sample local coffee at a plantation stop
- Private vehicle and driver for the entire day
What to expect
You'll start early to fit everything in. The monkey forest visit lasts about an hour—keep bags zipped and glasses secured, as macaques are brazen thieves. Tegalalang involves walking downhill through terraces and back up; it's photogenic but crowded by mid-morning. The jungle swing is thrilling if you're comfortable with heights. Lunch breaks are brief. Tirta Empul is genuinely serene, though the purification ritual is optional and involves wading in cold water. Tegenungan Waterfall is a final splash if water levels permit. Expect seven to eight hours of activity with minimal downtime.
Good to know
Entrance fees to all sites are separate charges—ask your guide for current prices before arriving. Wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a dry shirt. The jungle swing requires a reasonable level of fitness and courage; it's not a quick photo op. Bring cash for tips, coffee tastings, and lunch if not included. Morning departures mean an early start from your hotel.
